In my cleaning the fridge efforts, I used up the rest of the apples from this fall in applesauce. That left me with little apple scraps perfect for making apple cider vinegar. Even better, I found a bag of apple scraps in the freezer so this batch would be a nice size.
As I mixed it up, I dug out a jar of ACV I made earlier this year looking for a mother to jumpstart the vinegar process in this batch.
The first jar I grabbed had one!
And then I grabbed the jar next to it...
Yes, that mother is as thick as my finger.
Isn't it amazing that things like that grow "wild" in our pantry? 😜
